Outright busts are easier to deal with. If you got Travis Etienne, you moved on. You weren't spending every single week thinking, oh, I got to find a way. I think I should start Travis Etienne this week. You just went, well, that sucks. You lit the pick on fire, and you found someone else to try to get you fantasy points. Kyler, the whole season... I mean, the thing is 44% of his games were bust.
That is awful. And he was so much worse in the second half because the first half of the season, his consistency score was number five. So he really was like the drug you shouldn't have. It's like, Ooh, you like this. This feels good. You've got something nice here. Boom. You're addicted. Now you're on the streets. That was Kyler. Yeah, Kyler had a... Putting people on the streets?

You think you've got a floor. Usually with mobile rushing quarterbacks, it's like, well, we know he's going to get 30, 40, 50 yards a game, so you're starting with a 3, 4, 5-point baseline in fantasy points scored. But the issue with Kyler this year... was sometimes he just didn't run. And that was the success or failure for fantasy purposes.

In games where he had 20 or more rushing yards, he averaged 21 fantasy points per game. Yay, great. But then in games where he had fewer than 20 rushing yards, it was 12.5 fantasy points. There were so many times as a Cardinal fan that I'm watching these games. I'm like, why aren't you running there? Scramble. You have a superpower.

If he's a ninth round pick, he's one of those mobile quarterbacks that falls towards the double digit rounds. You highlight and target those guys. That's why Jaden Daniels was my guy for Andy because he was the last drafted quarterback that

Yeah, that worked out pretty well. But this is the truth series. You're also going to go into next year seeing, hey, Kyler was a top 10 quarterback this year in fantasy. He finished as the quarterback 10. I mean, that was not the experience, and so I think you've got to pump the brakes and be cautious next year when drafting him.
